All right then, I'm gonna see if this work, because I don't see a way to attach pictures to the threads. Should this fail, I'll try something else, should it succeed I'll amend this post with some info.

Well it almost worked, but here let me fill you in, this is a 1995, you can just barely make out the five, D half that I found in a dealers junk box marked six for a dollar, so yes it cost me all of 16.66 cents. Less than face chaching, it has a clipped planchet, and has been broadstruck, quite the error find. the clip is obviously preexisting and not post mint due to the weakness of the strike as the letters approach the edge, the weak five, the faded st is trust, and the fading of the letters on the rev all point to pre strike damage, as for the fact that the clip curves, this can be explained by the force of the striking process and the fact that the coin not in a collar wants to expand and take the path of least resistance, thus the expanding metal curving inward slightly, however the coin is exceptionally well struck for something you usually see with a weak strike. Any other opinions on this coin are welcome, including who would be the best grading company for said coin. Enjoy, BQ.
